I never thought to re-look at her brother¹s earlier 1952 obit.
If she was Mrs. ³Alton² Johnston a year later when her father died and she
was the ³informant² on his 1953 death record, then there¹s a pretty good
chance it was Alton Robert Johnston, Tommy¹s son.
This obit also narrows the gap to between 31 Dec 1945 and 31 Oct 1952 when
Meaurita Mamie m/2 Fred Hahnen.
